when he was within two feet, | turned
round and confronted him. Twenty years
have not dimmed the memory of that mo
ment. Nothing but the grave can banlsh
the vivid recollection from my mind. 2 He,
for it was man, gazed at me for several
seconds with scrutiny whose intensity
might have photographed the lineafnents
of my features on his mind forever; then,
with leap and bound-I repeat, with
leap and bound-he disappeared in the
darkness. For several seconds | remained
rooted to the spot. A sudden giddiness
seized me, and l clung to the railing for
support. Then, with an effort, continued
my journey, and at length, sick and faint,
arrived at my own house.
That night, although 1 wooed her dill
gently, sleep would not bring relief to my
tired BRAIN That man s face glared at me
in thousand hideous contortions. Sud
denly light flashed across my bewildered
mind. The expression in his eyes was ia

LOVES LAST WORD.

Ifyou love me tell me so;
Coal is very high.
Father thinks it isn't right
You should come here every night,
Staying till the fire is low,
Just to spoon and sigh.
Calling me your little sweet
Docs not pay for gas;
While your lonely heart may yearn,
In the chandeliers there burn
Jets that make thousand feet
Ger the meter pass.
Love, / know, completely fills
Life's void gallery;
Yet, while these dear moments haste,
Think how many dollars waste
Coal and gas and other bills
Fathers salary
Then. prithee, dear one, brace!
Do but speak the word
Else must to father yield,
Else must you vacate the field,
Else must some one take your place
stocks and bonds" preferred.

A peculiar phenomenon is reported from
San Anafre, Cal. Quantities of submarine
vegetation have been thrown up on the
beach, covering it for 16 miles. There are
a large number of dead fishes on the shore,
among them whales, sharks and sea turtles.
One whale measures IS feet and turtle is
10 feet in length. The phenomena is be-
lieyed to have been caused by submarine
eruption.

With the touch of his fingers once more
upon my throat I ceased to struggle, and
had closed my eyes in resignation, when
the sound of footsteps infused me with new
hope. The mailman also heard the sound,
and relaxing his grasp listened, A vehicle
stopped, and then a woman suddenly burst
through the fog, whose features seemed
familiar. But the agony had been too
